Bones contain about half their weight
of phosphate of lime; the other half con
sists chiefly of organic matter. The phos-
phate of limo in bones is what is called in
soluble phosphate-that is to say, a com
bination of phosplloric acid with us much
lime as it can unite with. One-third or
two-thirdS of the lime can, however, be
taken away and still leave definite COM
pounds. When two-thirds of the limo
has been taken away the compound
formed is soluble in water, and is called
soluble phosphate of lime. In dissolving
bones it is found that if enough of acids is
added to convert all the phosphates in the
soluble form the whole is converted into
n liquid mass, which refuses to dry Up
and is unfit as manure. This is owing to
the organic matter in the bones. There
is, therefore, a practical limit set to tho
proportion Of soluble phosphate which
dissolved bones can contain. AS q rule,
in the case of pure dissolved bones not
more than half the phosphate is present in
the soluble form. According to DR.. Ait
kin, high English authority, pure dis
solved bone cannot contain much moro
than 20 per cent. soluble phosphate and
from 2 1-2 to 3 1-2 per cent. of ammonia.
He claims that 'the dissolviny Of bones in
sulphurous acid is u wastcful process, not
to be recommended, for by so doing tho
bones are degraded to the level Of mineral
p%hosphates, which supply soluble phos-
pilates more cheaply and more efficiently
than bones. If soluble phosphate is
wanted for q crop, hen the cheapest form
of superphosphatc is the best thing to APP
ply. If bones are wanted for the crop or
tho land then the natural bone. finely
ground, is the cheapest form of applica-
ton. If both are wanted both should be
applied separately, but to attempt to COM
bine these advantages by dissolving tho
bones is to effect a compromise that is not
economical. 1t is really i'll effect to spoil
good bones and to make poor superphos-
phate.n

a New Ono on Ben Butler.

IL was talking with Congressman Calkins
in Indianapolis, recently" said MI. Will v.
Rocker, in the lobby of the Paxton, and ho
gave lie what l thought was IL new one about
Ben Butler. An Ohio congressman, whom
| will not name, represented one of the in
terror districts of his state at tie time Ben
Butler was having no end of trouble with
Sam Cox and Il good many other people in
the house, and doing them all up more OF less
i'll his own peculiar way. The Ohio man had
been loa led for Benjamin for some time, and
at last one day lie got his chance.
"His speech was simply Il torrent of vulgar
abuse, and would a " attracted unmitiGated
disgust had it not been for his peculiar gcst-
ures, which tempered the disgust with mirth.
He had a fashion of raising his arms just rs
high aboSe his head as possible, and then
wringing his hands rs though lie We're making
u delirious attempt to wiring them off. Well,
old Ben sat through the speech with his one
gool eye half shut, not moving Il muscle.
When the Ohio man had finished anil taken
his seat Ben arose-calm, digniiicd and inn
pressive-and stood i'll the aisle. For Il half
minute lie said nothing. Then he began:
Mr.. Speaker Another pause, long and
ponderous. Everybody waited, with hushed
breath, for him to continue. Raising his
arms, Ben produced exactly the awful gest-
ure of the Ohio congressman. Then lie per.
mitted his arms to fall again, and for another
half minute stood still and silent. That is
all, MI. Speaker said the shrewd and sar-
castle son of Massachusetts. Il Just wanted
to answer the gentleman from Ohlo.' Julg-
ing from the wild laughter and applause
which followed, old Ben's speech was at once
the shortest and the best ever delivered in tho
lower house. '-Omuha World.

Treasury Department whitewns1,.

One Of the best recipes known for white
wash is that called "Whitc House white
wash" and Treasury Department whites
wash" The latter name arose doubtless
from the fact that it is the recipe sent out
by the lighthouse board of the treasury
department. 1t has been found by ex-
p%erience to nswer on wood, brick and
stone nearly as well as oil paint. and is, of
course, much cheaper. Stake onc-half
bushel Of lime with boiling water, keeping
it covered during the process, Strain it
off and add a peck of salt previously dis
solved in warm water, three pounds of
ground rice previously boiled i'll water to
q thick paste, .onc-half pound of powdered
Spanish whiting and a pound of clear glue
dissolved in warm water. Mix these vari-
GUS ingredients together and let stand for
several days. Keep the wash thus pre-
pared in a Kettle or boiler, and when used
apply it as hot as practicable with q white
wash brush.

A Word About Potato scab.

The skin of the potato is Il layer of cork
cells, and when injured it heals by the
formation of u new layer of cork. When
the tuber grows in water, or in a wet soil,
the cork layer thickens at various points,
producing many little warts on the sur
face and rendering the cuticle less resist
ant of decay. If the excess Of water con
tinues for a considerable time decay sets
in and the starch and tissues Of the tubcr
become discolored. But if the decay is
arrested the cork layer forms between tho
decayed and healthy parts and the potato
is "scabby." The trouble is, therefore,
the result of excessive moisture from a
wet soil or wet weather. Stable manure
may increase the moisture and cause the
scab, or it may fill the soil with spores of
molds or fungi. Some insects, by wound
ing the cork layer, may increase the
trouble. Some saline fertilizers may
hinder the growth of fungi-Connecticut

While its origin is obscure it is supposed
to have been a cross of the Silver Span
gled Hamburg and Dark Brahmas WIKI
probably some blood from TIE Cochin
family. 1t shows its composite origin by
prominent characteristics and sport. The
plumage is very attractive, being white,
heavily laced with black, especially over
the breast, the tail alone being solid
black. The standard weights given for
Wyandottcs are 8 1-2 pounds for the mn
ture cock and : 1-2 pounds for the hen.
The Wyandottes have proven them
selves worthy of tho early claims made
for them and stand today among the best
of all purpose fowls for the farmer,
though they do not appear to liase inter-
fered with the popularity of the Bra!lmaS
and Plymouth Rocks. -As cable fowls
the Wyandottes are excellent. their flesh
being juicy, tender and delicate, AZ
spring chickens they have proven a first
rate breed, for they feather early and ma
ture rapidly. The hens are prolific lay
ers, being exceeded only by the Leghorus,
but the eggs produced are small in size
q decided drawback when these are des-
tined for market.
The original Wyandottes afforded a
tempting field to the fancier which has
not been neglected, as the white Wyan-
dottes with their small rose combs testify.
Saving the best white "sports" each sea-

some beautiful specimens. Our cut is n

Relative Value of Dairy Cows.

In tests made with ten breeds of COWS,
by Professor Brown, of the Ontario, Can,
Agricultural college, to ascertain the
value of the milk, cream, butter or cheese
made by them, the following conclusions
we're drawn from results obtained: The
Jersey is far ahead MS a producer of cream
or Of butter, with the Ayrshire grade next.
while the Ayrshire is the best if the mill
is to be sold or cheese is to be made. and
the Devon ranks next for the cheese
maker, and the shorthorn grade close
after.
The fact that the COW requires food very
nearly in proportion to her live weight
would also serve another point for the
Jersey and the Ayrshire, the lightest
weights yet the most productive, the one
in weight of milk and amount Of cheese
made therefrom, the other in amount of
cream and yalne of butter.
